Alcohol was great for that in my teens until mid 20s. It would calm me down and stop me stressing.
Now I’m late 20s and alcohol makes me tired and unproductive. I’m already pretty exhausted from the constant grind of being alive so now alcohol has shifted to being more of a problem.
I do this too but with tasks on Google calendar. I don’t know how I used to get by without it, and honestly looking back, I didn’t.
I have aphantasia, can’t visualize anything. I have an inner monologue though.
Yeah I didn’t get diagnosed until like 20, and I don’t think not knowing negatively impacted me. I knew I was different, but I didn’t think there was anything wrong with me. I still often thought “If they can do it, I can too.”
Now I know there’s something wrong with me I do often wonder what’s the point of trying. I feel like I’m fighting an uphill battle, but I guess I also think that my successes are even more of an accomplishment?

I’ve got too much pride to give up my hyperfixation hobbies. I have too many hobbies.
